The Nude Figure will present a
survey of contemporary responses to the nude to illuminate resonances
between traditions of imagining the figure and the artist’s personal
experience. The theme of mirroring is a metaphor for the persistence of
the nude as a theme in art and our shared visual understandings of the
body. Entries are being accepted in painting, drawing, printmaking,
photography, sculpture, ceramics, fiber, glass and mixed media.

Jurors Paul DuSold, instructor at the
Woodmere Art Museum and Fleisher Art Memorial, and Scott Noel, professor
at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, look to assemble a survey of
contemporary responses to the nude to illuminate resonances between
traditions of imagining the figure and the artist’s personal experience.
